This same problem stopped for me with the 10.5.0 software update. Unfortunately there is a memory leak in the s24evmon.exe service in the new software so that is worse. Wait for the update greater than 10.5.0.

Sorry my intel pro/wireless still has the same issue under 10.5.0.0 and I also do not have the Windows XP wireless enabled. As a matter of fact, I have the windows wireless zero config service disabled.

I had Version 10.1... factory installed on my system. I downloaded the recent update 10.5... from the Drivers and Downloads site. I ran the new install over the previous install and the problem seems fixed.

But I could not find the real reason for the problem. I tried all those like you did, unckeck the Windows to Manage Wi-Fi, Disabled windows Wi-Fi service etc..

I thought mine was fixed because I didn't see it happen that is why I posted yesterday, but this morning I saw the same message. As for 10.5.0.0, the s24evmon.exe service from intel has a memory leak (confirmed to me by email from intel). You can see it if you start Task Manager and look at the processes tab for s24evmon.exe the memory will climb and the "virtual memory" (you may need to add this column to see it) will really climb over time. Mine used over 200 meg of ram after a couple of days.

Typically I do use windows tools as I don't like to add overhead, but I have been using the pro set software and like the profile funcionality and the statistics, signal strength, etc. Most obvious is the signal strength indicator in the task bar. With windows you need to mouse over it to check your signal strength. Since the memory leak I have been considering removing the intel software to try windows software with this card. Just haven't taken the time. I have not found a good comparision of the windows zero config and the intel software and haven't done the analysis myself.
